According to the statement, El-Gazzar emphasized that these appointments aim to enhance the party’s performance, activities, and programmes to fulfil the Egyptian people’s aspirations.
The move is also part of the anticipated reforms to Egypt’s political party landscape, seeking to enrich political work with fresh ideas and perspectives that align with the upcoming phase.
He further stated that efforts are underway to select the party’s leadership at various levels, leveraging the expertise and national figures within the party’s founding body.
Additionally, the party carefully selects top grassroots leaders nationwide, particularly those who played a significant role in gathering endorsements before establishing the NFP.
The NFP was launched on 30 December last year in the New Administrative Capital (NAC) under the slogan “Egypt for All.”
According to the SIS, Egypt has 87 licensed political parties.
Fourteen of them hold seats in the current parliament: The Mostaqbal Watan party with 315 seats, the People’s Republican party with 50 seats, the Wafd party with 26 seats, the Homat Watan party with 23 seats, and the Islamist Nour party with seven seats.
